*For reference, the email below was sent to all CALS students enrolled in winter session as of December /9.

Winter Session Courses

Hello CALS Student,

According to your schedule, you are currently enrolled in coursework during the Winter 2022 term - which begins Monday, December 19.

Winter session courses are in a different format than those you typically take. We want to ensure your success by providing you with important information and resources before classes begin.

Winter Session courses are taught in a highly accelerated 3- week format

Each calendar day of class is equivalent to approximately 1 week of content in a full-semester course. You can expect to spend 8-10 hours per day on course-related activities such as reading, completing assignments, working on projects, and studying. Another way of thinking about this is that you will be spending approximately 45 hours per week on academics for the 3-week session.

Winter Session overlaps significantly with the University of Arizona's Winter Closure

Most departments close or reduce operations between December 22 and January 3. This means that student services are extremely limited. Your main point of contact during the Winter Session will be your instructor, however, you can connect with the Registrar's Office by emailing reghelp at arizona.edu<mailto:reghelp at arizona.edu>.

The College of Agriculture & Life Sciences (CALS) has some support available to you during this time:
